Grinding machine manufacturer JUNKER celebrates a success story as the Volkswagen Group recently purchased its 500th JUNKER grinding machine.

"This statistic", says JUNKER CEO Rochus Mayer "demonstrates the high regard for our grinding machines in the world of international automotive production."

In recognition of this outstanding business relationship, Mayer presented Volkswagen with the JUNKER Award. Accepting the award on behalf of Volkswagen was Große-Loheide, who is responsible for general procurement for the Volkswagen Group.

Representing the Volkswagen Group at the JUNKER Award ceremony, Große-Loheide had the opportunity to visit the JUNKER Technology Center and the adjacent Assembly Building at the company's headquarters in Nordrach, Germany.

This visit allowed Große-Loheide the ability to gain knowledge of the latest machine concepts and also appraise the ordered machine: A JUCAM 1S 11 for grinding individual cams.
